Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to haul bulk topsoil or slate in Franklin County?
Costs vary by material (e.g., screened topsoil, crushed slate) and delivery distance. We offer transparent tri-axle load pricing—call 717‑729‑2843 for a detailed quote tailored to your project.
What’s the difference between regular and screened topsoil?
Screened topsoil is filtered to remove stones and debris—perfect for planting and lawns. Regular topsoil may contain rocks or roots and is more budget-friendly. We also offer blended mixes like 75/25 compost or 50/50 leaf compost.
How do I prepare for my road paving project?
We start by laying out the road grading, removing old concrete/asphalt, installing drainage, then prepping the base for new pavement. We ensure proper storm drainage throughout.

You’ll receive soil testing, property grading, utility trenching, drainage installation, erosion control, and preparation for building, roadwork, or agricultural use.
